    Solution

    The term used to describe the rate of return earned by an investor who purchases a bond and holds it until it matures is "Yield to Maturity (YTM)." The YTM is the total return anticipated on a bond if it is held until it matures, taking into account the bond's current market price, its face value, its coupon rate, and the time remaining until maturity.
